PANEL INSTALLATION
COUNTRY LEDGESTONE PANEL
Always seat and aach panels ghtly together
Metal Starter Strip - Determine at what height above grade
level you want the panel to sit on. Measure up 2 ¾" from this
point and strike a level line. Aach the top of the starter
strip on this line. End the strip 2" from each side of the
corner.
Determine which type of wall installaon is required.
Paneling the wall from an inside corner to an inside corner.
Cut the le end of the rst panel so that the panel will sit ush against the adjoining
wall. Aach to the wall through the screw indicator marks on the top and right end
tongues. Firmly press the next panel against the rst panel and repeat aachment
process across the wall. Cut the right end of the nal panel in the course ush to the
wall. Use the drop o from that panel to start the new row. Stagger the joints of the
panel ends up the wall. If necessary, cut some addional length from the drop o piece
to prevent panel ends from lining up vercally.
Paneling a wall with one outside corner on the right.
Dry t the rst corner into the starter strip. Secure with
screws if necessary. Moving from right to le: dry t panels
ghtly across the wall. Cut the le end of the nal panel to
be ush with the wall or trim piece. Remove the dry t
panels and corner piece. Panel the wall from le to right as
in example 1. Reaach corner over right panel. Connue
from corner to nish wall.
All products must be allowed to acclimate; removed from boxes and stored at at the
installaon site for a minimum of 48 hours or unl properly acclimated prior to
installaon. Heat and moisture cause expansion. Best results are obtained by installing
cool, dry product. NextStone does not warrant against gapping caused by expansion
and contracon.
Manufacturer does not warrant against gapping caused by
expansion and contracon.
